Brad was watching the football game after a long shift Sunday night when a middle-aged male started a conflict with the Riley’s staff. Brad confronted the situation to aid the altercation and was violently stabbed twice by the suspect. The suspect was on probation and had a history of two jail records. Ambulances immediately rushed Brad to the local hospital and his wounds were evaluated. One wound had punctured the stomach, requiring immediate surgery.

Recovery from this trauma is far from easy, and calls for a special kind of patient to fight through the pain and discomfort.
